Tire Failure Analysis

Overview

In the Southwest especially, due to high temperature conditions, many accidents result from premature tire failure. You can get a sense of the magnitude of the problem just by looking at the amount of tire tread “samples” littering the roadway shoulders in your area.

We provide a field inspection and overview analysis of the vehicle tires to determine if it is likely or unlikely that tire failure resulted from improper service or repair, or a manufacturer’s defect. If we determine after our preliminary investigation that subrogation potential is evident, we will perform a detailed analysis of the tires to identify the exact cause of the failure.

In cases where a collision occurs as a result of the tire failure, we perform a thorough inspection of the vehicle's mechanical systems, focusing particularly on the steering and suspension systems. This allows us to rule out any other causes for the driver's loss of control.
